About me

Born & bred in London. Gentle giant of a man. Typical copywriter: loves books & learning; insatiable curiosity; loves the limelight but not small talk; little geeky around the edges.
Big-ideas-balcony-view kind of guy. Robust thinker. Can't stand flaky, shallow thinking. The kind of guy that produces proprietary branding models that can inspire culture change.
Widely experienced at integrated creative communications: from branding, to graphic design; from direct mail to all things digital; from advertising to scripting, directing & producing TV & radio spots.
B2B mostly. Some B2C. Lots of third sector work.
Great at both creating & presenting winning bids/pitches.
Fascinated by leadership & personal development. Currently writing a business book on Resilience for Hodder & Stoughton.
Would love to do much more experiential marketing, creative producing. Ready for contract work & non-executive directorship positions in the public or private sectors.
